摘要
The term severe refractory asthma (SRA) in adults applies to patients who remain difficult to control despite extensive reevaluation of diagnosis and management following an observational period of at least 6 months by a specialist. Factors that influence asthma control should be recognized and adequately addressed prior to confirming the diagnosis of SRA.
